I think your practice pieces look pretty good! And practicing like that for a bit on things you don\'t care about is a really good idea.
You have pale white areas and bright white areas, seems like you need a few medium white areas in places, but other than that I think you\'re puzzling this out on your own really well.
Incidentally, with a large colour change like this it\'s often better not to go in straight away with white over the black. Maybe start with a darkish grey, then use a medium grey, then light grey and finally use thin layers of white. At the very least you might want to use one shade of grey before white.
Even using an airbrush you might get better results this way much less with a brush.
You need to keep pure white for highlight spots (which need to stand out) so keep this in mind.
thanks again peps i have been useing gw paints and gw brushes has i dont want to use my new 7 series till i master this and start the army it self

If you are going to paint an army in this scheme you are going to need way more patience then you are showing. It hasn\'t even been a week since you sent the PM. Give the guy a chance. I will spend weeks at a time away from Coolmini due to reality intruding on my figmentia. Not everyone checks here every day.
Cool idea and I like the concept piece. The only thing I don\'t like it is currently seems random. If you look at YellowOnes piece all of the \'lines\' seem to serve a purpose, like they are a bone or tendon structure, and due to that they don\'t look so random.
i would say needs more contrast. it looks very white atm. also try thinning the paint even more. the blending on kirils stuff is insane and takes tons of layers. your stuff is still tons better than i could do though so keep practicing
ok peps got a msn add today and it was the yellow one after speaking to him for over a houre what a top guy i walked me thru and told me how to do the model so 3000 point army here we go
im sad to say tho all of our thoughts on how it was done were wrong peps lol
Dont have to guess any more peps yellow one has taught me the ways it hand painted not airbrush and its the way he does it which sadly none of us guessed lol
